Recipe // Apple Turnovers
This Apple Turnover recipe has been one of my favorite ever since I first made it back in 2009. My German roots always crave apple strudel, so I made these for an easy fix. This recipe is a smaller version of it and a must try.
We love eating these warm with a scoop of ice cream & whipped cream. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

You didn’t say how much cinnamon or how much nutmeg to use and a picture of how to cut them would have been nice. Your description sucked.
Jenn I just slapped my forehead, LOL. I have added the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg that you need for the recipe & a picture on how I’ve cut the puff-pastry.
Jenn, your comment was a little harsh. Sometimes when you type a recipe for a blog post you forget something. We’re all human. These sound wonderful. I found the recipe on Pinterest and will be adding it to my dessert board. Thanks for sharing!
Jenn should learn some manners and basic etiquette!
Bettina, thank you for taking the time to post the recipe. It looks wonderful and is great solution for us busy folks.
These look delicious!! Can you please also add a photo to show how you fill and then seal them? I can’t figure out how they make it from triangle to rectangle shape! Thanks!
@Camille I will add pictures on how to fill and seal them.
But for now, this is what I did.
After I cut them and sliced the 3 vents, I put parchment paper on the backing sheet, laid one of the triangles out and opened it, with the vents on the bottom, filled it with about 1 1/2 tbsp of apples. Folded each corner over the apples and sealed them by pinching the dough together.
With a specular I flipped them over and coated them with the egg wash and sugar. Repeat this step until you are out of dough and apples.
You can also do it like this, without cutting the vents first: http://blog.bjohnsonjewelry.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/apple-turnovers001.jpg
Just make sure to cut or poke (with a fork) the vents once you are done, or your apple turnovers will be very gooey. The vents will let the steam out so your turnovers cook inside as well.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
I wasn’t really sure how many it makes. From the picture, I’m guessing four? I just wanted to make sure before buying the ingredients so I know how much to buy.
Thank you.
@Joy I used one package of the pepperidge farm puff pastry http://www.pepperidgefarm.com/ which has 2 sheets in it. So I was able to make 8 Apple turnovers (just enough apples to fill them all).
I so want to try these! Is there a printer friendly version of the recipe so that I don’t have to print so many pages? Thanks, Rebecca
Hi Rebecca, I will work on a print friendly version for you today! Didn’t even think about that, thank you for the reminder.
Hi ladies, I’ve made a printable recipe card to download: https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/1sU1ygCDHsB5ss
Enjoy!
Thank you, Bettina, for the printable recipe. They’re in the oven as I type and they smell delicious! 🙂
mmmmhhh I think I will make some too! You got me all hungry for them now, lol.
